Well, yes, I guess the context menu should at least come up with
Mr Little's posts - but he does not post in UTF like Els, Luigi
and Toby Inkster. I am on Tiger, we are talking MT-NewsWatcher I
assume, and you are control-clicking in the white space of the
post itself? It won't give you the option if you are replying
already, ie. you read Luigi and are spellbound to reply, your
eyes are glazed like a zombie, your fingers move like a
sleepwalker to the keys and you hit command-R and well... too
late! You need to do the Control click on the original Luigi
post, choose decode as Western Latin...
